In Ikea’s ad titled “Freedom,” a man is leaving his cubicle-adorned office early. His co-workers rise and applaud with pride and support to the beat of the omnipresent “I’m Going Home” by Ervin Webb that plays throughout the commercial. The man’s wife is outside waiting for him and as they embrace each other, “If it costs less, you can work less,” is printed across the screen. The commercial ends with the Ikea logo and the slogan, “Live your life. Love your home” on the screen.

PRETTYBIRD Director Salomon Ligthelm Reunites With Little Simz On “Flood” Music Video
PRETTYBIRD filmmaker Salomon Ligthelm reteams with English-Nigerian artist Little Simz on the conceptual and visually rich music video “Flood.”

Staying in a performance-based visual space, Ligthelm captures Little Simz in dramatic black and white.

Ligthelm previously directed Little Simz’s 2021 award-winning music video “Introvert.”
